uPVC Windows
Traditional style, modern performance.
What are upvc windows?
uPVC windows are a practical, low-maintenance choice that suits a wide range of Yorkshire houses. The Residence Collection we supply includes timber-look flush casements and vertical sliding sash windows.
For many projects uPVC is the right answer: good everyday performance, no painting, and a cost that allows a whole house to be done in one go.

Questions
Is uPVC a lower-quality option?
Not inherently. It is a different material with different strengths. Chosen and installed well, uPVC is the right choice for many homes.
How much do upvc windows cost?
There is no meaningful fixed price. Cost depends on size, configuration, glass, colour, hardware, access and the complexity of installation. We provide a written quotation against an agreed specification, typically within 48 hours of having the details we need.
